said.What do both BYU and USC have in common? National Champions &
Heisman Winners. Nuff said.What do utah and USC have in common - both wear

What do Utah and
USC red jersey's have in common they both OWN BYU. Nuff said.

Funny how many Ute fans posted on this article. Approaching paranoia..... If
you have all moved on you are sure spending alot of time worrying about what BYU
is doing. I guess you are worried that BYU might make you look bad in front of
your Idol Pac-12 teams

BYU has a large fan base in California. Great
to play where BYU fans can attend the games. Not the same as playing in SLC as
the fans are just as likely to go to Provo.

Besides.... As a BYU fan
I would rather see them play USC than Utah. So would the rest of the people
watching the game on TV.

Disneyland is going to be packed with people in Cougar blue over Thanksgiving
Day break - can't wait. By then my young kids will travel better - Love
this 2 for 1. I'm actually glad it's not a 1 for 1.

"A bottom-dwelling PACy-WACer like Utah is lucky to
get a 1-for-1 with BYU."

Well if WE'RE the ones who would be
"lucky to get a 1-for-1 with BYU", why is it that all the begging to
play the game is coming from the Indy-WACers? It's time you faced the
facts: this game means a LOT more to your program than it does to ours. So
YOU'RE the one who'd be lucky to get a 1-for-1; not us.

As
this game means more to you than it does for us, that puts Utah in a position of
power. We have more options. Therefore, you'll have to either agree to a
2-for-1 with us, or you can run away from the rivalry.

No, the reason the Trojans scheduled our Indy-WACey little
brother is because they wanted a 2-for-1, and the cougars have been having
firesales on those deals lately. 'Zona got one, so the Trojans figured,
"why not?"

CougsndawgsBYU had a home and home series with the Trojans in 03 and 04
(slaughter) and now they have a 2-1? It's more than likely they have lost
respect for them wouldn't you say? Utah has a home and home with them for
the next several years! That's what happens when you win BCS games and get
invited to a major conference. As for the GT win USC beat Utah last year and the
year before and coincidentally Utah beat BYU both those years (once by 44
points) so your logic defeats itself. Oh yes, 4 years ago the Kittens had
managed to win 3 of 4 but only on close last second plays. Considering BYU hasnt
beaten Utah by more than a touchdown in about 15 years and thrice in the past 11
games Utah has utterly throttled BYU (52-21, 48-24 and 54-10) I'd say Utah
is way ahead of BYU. All this spin by BYU fans is giving me vertigo!

What "begging" are you talking about. It's
hysterical how Utah fans continue to pretend that the BYU-Utah game means more
to BYU fans, than Utah fans. The truth is, a large segment of Utah's fan
base is composed of BYU haters, who couldn't care less about Utah, except
for when the Utes play BYU.

You're only fooling yourselves if
you think that Utah is in any position of power. Either the rivalry will
continue as a mutually agreed upon home-and-home series, or it won't
continue. If the Utes want to run away from the rivalry, that's their
choice, but conference bottom-dwelling PACy-WACers like Utah are in no position
to demand ANYTHING from BYU.

It's laughable that you simply make stuff up to soothe
your fragile ego.

BYU's willingness to schedule a 2-for-1 with
USC, with the two LA games being played in November, helped USC extend their
rivalry with Notre Dame and helped BYU fill a couple of November time slots with
nationally relevant games. It was a win-win for BYU and USC.

Uteology:"Can you tell us which other competitive, perennial top 25,
legacy program that USC scheduled a 2-for-1 deal with".

I'm
pretty sure you know I meant BYU by this statement. They have finished top 25 5
out of the last 7 years...nearly as many times as Utah over their entire
history. Athlon referred to BYU as a legacy dynasty, and ESPN listed them as a
top 25 program of all time (they listed Utah at 43).

"Gimme win?
Like the last second blocked FG victory at home against a first year PAC-12 team
with mostly MWC talent? Or the come from behind victory in the 4th quarter
against a D2 QB at RES? If that's your definition of "gimme win"
lets just see what happens when Utah actually has PAC-12 depth".

Come from behind 4th qtr? USC was up 24-21 at halftime and going into the 4th
qtr, and extended it to 38-21 later in the 4th. You must mean their come from
behind after sleep walking and gifting U 14 points. "Lets just see what
happens" when USC plays to the level they're capable of against Utah.

Naval Vet:"As this game means more to you than it does for us, that
puts Utah in a position of power. We have more options. Therefore, you'll
have to either agree to a 2-for-1 with us, or you can run away from the
rivalry".

I love how you think for all BYU fans. Lets take a
straw poll, how many BYU fans care about playing Utah when we can get home and
homes with Washington St, Arizona (unlike NV wants to say this is a home and
home with neutral site in between), GT, Boise St, Virginia, etc? Utah is in no
more position of power than any of these programs because Utah is a low level
BCS program. The sooner you realize that NV, the easier it will be to accept the
unavoidable sub .500 records you'll be witnessing on the hill. U are NOT an
elite program, and U CAN'T garner the respect that gets 2-1 deals (you
couldn't even garner it for Fresno).

Nice logic. So we might now expect, seeing
as Utah has lost so many BCS games in the last two years, and lost to some real
pathetic teams, that USC will be demanding 2-1 with Utah, to be followed be
outright shunning if your losing ways continue?

Try this logic
instead. "We'll give you two marquee games in November if you are
willing to play them in a region where you already have a significant fan
base." I'd take that with USC. Oregon. With Utah???? For starters,
you don't have permission.
